Prize Money: $3,290

ZIPPING ZODIAC (1) comes here off a placing in fast time (29.89) over 520m at this track. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. NICKO ACE (2) lines up chasing another win after scoring over 365m at this track in 20.88, set up by a fast early sectional. Likely to be in the finish. ASHBY CHAI (8) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 6 lengths into second (30.06) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 520m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Hard to beat again. WOOTOWN WILL (7) has a solid strike rate at this track and distance.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 0.8 lengths third but did clock a slick 29.89 over the 520m trip. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Was out of placings last time (25.49) at Goulburn in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Yet to win but has placed nine times from this draw. Looks a place chance at best.

Strong performance to win by 3.5 lengths at this track over 520m (30.15) beating Skedaddle Indi in Grade 5 on July 7. In winning form but this a tough assignment.

Nearing another win after her success on March 31 at this track over 520m. Last start was second over 520m in 30.06, behind Skedaddle Arlo. Has a superb 29.6 best time at this course and distance. Worth including.
